Tasks/Reading(s) for Week 7:
Mini Lecture: Writing an essay based on a selected reading from a specific source entails careful reading, reflecting, annotating / note taking, analyzing, paraphrasing, synthesizing, and responding to selected text using rhetorical argumentation. In a source-based response essay, therefore, a writer examines arguments presented on a topic from a selected reading on a particular subject. Then he or she identifies the theme or special message of that writing and sets out to prove, disprove, or adjust if necessary, previous views, personal or otherwise, on that stated argument. The process should begin with the reader gathering his or her own thoughts on what has been read; then he or she must search for evidence within that reading itself as well as consult other sources that will help support or “back up” the stated point-of-view, statement, or argument. That writer’s argument may be either a question, an random point of view, or a statement about some specific existing argument on a topic. The reader must first pinpoint on the point to be addressed from that topic, then continue to limit or narrow that topic he or she will cover or discuss). Finally, the reader will write a response to address the existing debate in the reading.
NOTE 1: During the first SESSION (first four weeks of this course), you have been provided with selected articles or source readings from which you were to write first a draft and then a polished final essay. This essay for Week 7 must be submitted according to the time stipulation as stated for similar read-response essays that you have written in session I. Articles or source readings for the essays you have been assigned so far have come from the first six (6) magazines listed such as Motif Magazine and The Atlantic Monthly. The additional eleven (11) listings are presented in an effort to help you find more sources from which you may be able to select a relevant or suitable article or source reading for your Week 7 essay. Remember you have the option of making your choice of source reading for this assignment from other sources that you may prefer.
NOTE 2: You do not have to submit a draft or plan for the Week 7 essay; however, students are strongly encouraged to use the draft or plan approach to prepare for the writing of any assigned essay.
Readings and ASSIGNMENT: Text: THEY SAY / I SAY, chapter 15, p.187-204. Graff and Birkenstein, gives invaluable advice on how to write a literary response essay about writings in literature. Study this chapter closely to help you plan, develop, and WRITE an essay of no more than six complete paragraphs in response to an article or source reading you will have selected yourself. As you write the essay, see if you can figure out what elements of society then and possibly now you suppose that author(s) may be addressing? In other words, what is that author’s debate or argument and how do you know? What is your response to what that writer/author has stated in that source reading that you have selected; and how relevant do you suppose what is being debated is to current society? Your completed essay will address what you surmise to be the main argument and whether you agree of disagree with what that individual seems to be implying in your selected source reading.

The Atlantic Monthly
